The history of the city unfolds at the Musée Historique Lausanne, completely renovated in 2018. The famous model of the city in 1638 opens "Lausanne, l'Exposition", the thematic tour that bears witness to Lausanne's rich economic, social and cultural history.11 spaces to understand the metamorphoses of this very special territory, from water to mobility, from leisure to housing, from the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment... Housed in the former Palais des Evêques since 1918 (11th-15th c.), the Musée Historique Lausanne brings together exceptional collections: photography, graphic arts, painting and applied arts. Every year, the museum organizes several temporary exhibitions and events.
